Tao Bible - Ezekiel 44:1-2

Then he brought me back the way of the gate of the outward sanctuary which looketh toward the east; and it was shut. Then said the LORD unto me; This gate shall be shut, it shall not be opened, and no man shall enter in by it; because the LORD, the God of Israel, hath entered in by it, therefore it shall be shut.
~ King James version ~

Opening and closing the gates of heaven,
Can you play the role of woman?
Understanding and being open to all things,
~ from Verse 10 of the Tao Te Ching ~

The first passage comes from the perspective or rigidity -- the gate will remain closed. The second passages comes from the perspective of flexibility -- the yin and yang of life complement each other.
